power limiting

Hi. I am having a problem limiting power output from my hf rig to my
amplifier. I have built a 300 watt FET amp that has around 26db gain
and requires almost no drive. In fact, if you over drive the least
amount the FET is toast! I have toasted 2 so far. These devices a
very expensive. I need a way to limit the output of my rig to say 1
watt. What seems to be happening is the drive pot is not linear and
turning it just a little to far and wham there goes another FET. I am not
sure what I could introduce between the output of my rig and the amp
without disturbing the rf. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
